Working from home has its perks, but every so often a change of scenery (and a proper coffee) is exactly what’s needed. If your current office doesn’t come with a rooftop terrace and a padel court, this Riyadh address might change your mind. The Executive Centre (TEC) at KAFD 2.08, in Riyadh’s King Abdullah Financial District, offers a polished alternative whether you’re a freelancer after a professional base, an entrepreneur building a business, or a company that needs office space.

This Riyadh Office Has A Rooftop Padel Court

Inside The Executive Centre

The centre spans five levels and roughly 9,500 square metres, and it’s planned around different ways of working. There are coworking areas for a more social setup, private offices for teams that want their own space, and dedicated focus zones for when you really need to get things done.

Meetings are covered too, with 11 meeting rooms, private call rooms, a Majlis-style meeting area and event spaces for presentations and gatherings. Members also get ergonomic furniture, height-adjustable desks, business lounges and concierge services. Frankly, it beats taking your next video call from the kitchen table.

A Rooftop With Padel And Panoramic Views

Then there’s the rooftop. Level five has a padel court, alongside Atlas House, a lounge and terrace with panoramic views across KAFD. Outdoor terraces and shower facilities round out the spaces designed for stepping away from your desk.

A Café Open To Everyone

You don’t need a membership to enjoy part of it, either. Atlas Café, on Level 1, is open to the public and serves coffee and food in a contemporary setting. It’s a handy stop if you’re working nearby, meeting a friend or simply need a caffeine fix, and a very short walk from the desks for those who work there.

Why KAFD Works

Location is a big part of the pitch. TEC sits in the middle of KAFD, close to restaurants, shops and major businesses, with convenient access to the metro and main roads.

Padel fans will know the sport’s pull in the capital: Riyadh is the Saudi province with the most clubs, according to the International Padel Federation. Having a court on the roof of your workplace is a very Riyadh kind of perk.

TEC is open Sunday to Thursday, 9am to 6pm, across Levels 1, 2, 4 and 5 of Building 2.08, and the team can be reached on +966 11 510 6700.
